I’ll preface this by saying I had applied for positions three times prior with another recruiter without success. But as soon as I switched over to Finlay James, I received my first offer immediately and it was an amazing feeling! So what was the difference?
It had to be one thing, and that was my recruiter, Esther. From the first moment, she focused on getting to understand my goals, personality and what I was primarily looking for. She then matched me up with a fantastic company that fit all my criteria, taking the time to communicate what they did, and helping me figure out how my strengths applied and how best to approach the interview (special shout out to Shelby who helped with my preparation!!). It was in large part to Esther that I smashed the interview first time, receiving an offer the next day!
Because of her great match-making, I’m 2 months deep at the company she helped me find. I’ve hit my targets every month because she found a great fit between myself and the employer. She has since placed another of my colleagues here, who is getting along great too. We regularly catch up, and she checks in on my progress to make sure I’m still enjoying the job (I am), and getting along well.
If Esther and Shelby are representative of the quality of Finlay James recruiters, then anyone else applying through them will be in very safe hands! I highly recommend them both.
10/10. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Chef’s kiss.

I was recently hired for a position FJ contacted me about. Initially, I was unsure whether I would be a good match, however, I trusted my recruitment consultant, and I am glad I did!
Communication and transparency were consistent throughout the recruitment process, preparation before the interview calls was most thorough, and follow-up/feedback was always provided in a timely manner.
Before the final interview round I was lucky enough to get to speak with FJ's CEO, and I received some very useful advice which I believe ultimately helped me in securing the position.
Since I started working for my new company several weeks ago, my awesome recruitment consultant has checked in with me several times already - something I have never come across in dealing with recruitment agencies in the past, and a factor that certainly sets FJ apart from the rest.
To summarize: If you get approached by any one of the fine recruiters at Finley James, I would definitely recommend taking the time to speak with them - it may just lead you to the role you never realized would be perfect for you!

Did people get paid to write these positive reviews? Joke of a company, zero communication skills. Their greatest skillset is ghosting

Claire's insightful advice, James' thorough interview tips, Shelby's prompt responses, and John's encouragement truly made a difference. Their dedication and genuine care transformed what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into a seamless journey.
Thank you, Claire, James, Shelby, and John!
